NASCAR on ice!: https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2021/04/15/snow-day-nascar-hits-the-ice-in-france/

The 48.

It has been a while.

 

[Dylan]

Bowman! Let’s go!!!
And Hamlin let’s another one slip out of his fingers!

 

[Blood Eagle]

“Bowman the Showman”

 

[ICEYOU3]

Couldn't be happier for Bowman, I admit it was weird cheering on the #48 team.

 

[yellosnake]

Happy to see Alex Bowman in Victory Lane. But I ask myself when does the whole Bubba saga end? 26th in a JGR satellite ride. The #78 was a JGR satellite car and they won a championship. I would bet any money that they could have better results with the drivers of the #51 #52 or #53 in that seat

 

[Adamgp]

I don't care for Bowman either way, but that was a pretty good race yesterday.

 

[Dennisch]

I liked Hamlin's not so happy face right after the race. Leading half the race and seeing the 48 drive away with 10 laps to go.

 

[Blood Eagle]

 

[Dylan]

Oof.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Good thing or bad?

 

[Snaeper]

Her stats are, uh, not stellar in the Truck Series.

Cobb fields her own team in the Camping World Truck Series, where she has made 217 starts since 2008 with one top-10 finish. She ran 21 of 23 races last season (finishing on the lead lap once) and 19 of 23 in 2019 (finishing on the lead lap twice). Cobb also has 31 starts in the Xfinity Series since 2004, with her most recent having come in 2018.

 

[Blood Eagle]

I don’t know. I think if we held everyone to the same standard, some current cup drivers wouldn’t make the cut either. But also glad they are being so selective I guess. But super speedway racing is a crap shoot anyway. I say let her run.

Like I already posted, she drives the 2nd slowest truck on the track, her chances of finishing above 25th are slim to none. The things to look at are how many times she crashes and how many times she gets in the way of the leaders. And both of those numbers are far lower than truly awful drivers like Iwuji, Dauzat, Viens and Boyd.

They say it isn’t, but this ruling is 100% in response to her and Norm Benning’s on track feud from this weekend.

15 Days until the reveal boys! #NextGen

The NASCAR iRacing Pro-Invitational from Talladega is tonight and one of the big headlines going in is that Kevin Harvick’s 8 year old son, Keelan, is going to be participating.
Race starts in a half hour on FS1.

Anyone who watched the Arca race earlier today would have seen Derrick Lancaster get involved in a single car wreck in which he got bumped into the backstretch outside wall and his car burst into flames. Apparently he got some serious burns in the accident.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Watching it, I was worried about smoke inhalation. The fact he got out of the car under his own power was a good sign. I didn't realize he had such severe burns though. It's rare to see such injuries nowadays.


The Busch...I mean Xfinity race (I'm still calling it that after all these years ) had what could have been a rough crash too. I think it was Ty Dillon? that was going to nail the wall head-on hard if his car hadn't made contact with Brandon Jones' before it got there.

 

[Dylan]

Big flip for Logano. Luckily he’s okay. Amazed they didn’t wreck many cars.

 

[Northstar]

Bubba got insanely lucky there.

 

[Blood Eagle]

Not a Logano fan by any means but he was spitting truth in that interview. This type of racing is dumb.

Is there a chance the new package MIGHT prevent some of this?

 

[Blood Eagle]

You mean the new car? Not sure.

 

[bloodyboyblue]

Is there a chance the new package MIGHT prevent some of this?

I think the only thing they can do is penalize blocking, or at least making more than one move like other racing series do.

 

[Blitz24]

DiBenedetto threw away that win.

 

[GTFan24]

Can we agree that Reddick does not know how to use his head at these races?

 

[Adamgp]

Pretty good race. I was hoping Matt D would get the win. His chances would have been a lot better had it gone green all the way to the end.

 

[Dotini]

Brad, 9th winner out of ten this season. Talladega delivers once again!
